PhD Candidate: Development of Humin Based Recyclable Networks Maastricht University in Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on the synthesis of sustainable, PFAS-free polymers for high-performance applications . The research addresses the need for fluorine-free alternatives to fluorinated polymers and PFAS in demanding uses such as sealing systems, automotive and aerospace components, chemical-processing equipment, and other high-durability applications. The project will involve designing and synthesizing novel fluorine-free thermoplastic ...

The University of Padua’s Department of Chemical Sciences, through the MOC Laboratories, is offering two doctoral positions in the POLY4EV Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, focused on molecularly designed polymers for electric vehicles. The first PhD project, Architecturally Controlled Polymers for EV Lubricants , investigates polymer synthesis and molecular architecture, including branched and cyclic polymers. The research targets advanced lubrication materials, friction and wear reducti...
